Nickelodeon's Power Couple Was Actually Just A Toxic Relationship

Victorious was a show many of us grew up with, and now that it's available on Netflix, we've gone back to relive our pre-teenage years. The show featured your everyday high school students, the nerdy guy, popular girl and boy best friends, ditzy girl, and of course, the couple that everyone wanted to be half of: Beck and Jade.

Their relationship was very prominent in the show from the first episode, making viewers fall in love with their love. But don't let this fool you, the relationship between Beck and Jade had many toxic features. They may have been an attractive couple, but the dynamic of their relationship was anything but.

For example, in the "Locked Up" episodes, we found out that Beck's family had a strong dislike for Jade. They even uninvited both of them from the Mexico trip because of Jade. You would think that to have a healthy, long-lasting relationship you want your family to like your significant other. It can be problematic when it comes down to choosing between the person you're romantically involved with, or the people who raised you. There should never have to be a choice.

In the episode "WiFi In The Sky", Jade was clearly having trust issues with Beck. She went as far as breaking down his door due to the speculation that he was cheating on her with a cheerleader. In the episode, we find out that there was, in fact, a cheerleader involved, but she happened to be below the age of ten. This showed us the emotionally abusive aspect of Beck and Jade's relationship. There was never a time where Jade gave him the chance to explain himself, and she ended up coming over to his house uninvited. This may be okay in a relationship, but the mistrust and jumping to conclusions shouldn't be.

In multiple episodes, Beck is seen surrounded by girls that aren't Jade, and he doesn't seem to be too bothered by that. In a loving relationship, a person would act immediately if they were being hit on by someone other than their significant other. Maybe Beck was seeking a relationship that Jade couldn't give to him, or maybe he was looking for an argument with her.

Either way, we were definitely blind to the toxicity within the relationship we always dreamed of having.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
